Description
Summary:The following statement received the unanimous endorsement of the Council of the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues. The announcement was issued following publication of recent articles which have once again evoked popular misconceptions about the relationship of race and intelligence. Council also wished to take issue with implications that racial and class differences in intelligence render compensatory education programs ineffectual. The SPSSI presidential address to be delivered by Martin Deutsch at the Annual Meetings of the Society in September will focus on this issue. The address will be published in the Autumn issue of JSI.
